Is there a particular age they should start self settling?

We are exclusively bottle feeding and wanting to feed both expressed breast milk and formula but going in a bit blind on the topic. Can we feed breast milk in the day and then formula through the night? Wasn’t sure if there was a recommended way or schedule to follow.

Has anyone swapped back because of problems? My daughter has horrific constipation since being on cows milk, we’ve tried changing her diet, lots of water/fruit juice, even medication and it’s hardly done anything.

Our little one is 11 months, will be 1 on 6th Jan. We were advised by HV to start cutting back on bottles and replace them with more solids/ snacks. She's never been a big eater but I'd say she has been eating quite a lot more the last few days. We've been ending the day on about 600ml of milk, so still at least 2...
